NS Records

The NS, or Name Server records of a domain, indicate which servers deal with the Domain Name System (DNS) records for it. Setting the name servers of a given hosting provider for your domain address is the most convenient way to point it to their system and all its sub-records are going to be managed on their end. This includes A (the IP address of the server/website), MX (mail server), TXT (free text), SRV (services), CNAME (forwarding), etcetera, so if you need to edit some of these records, you will be able to do it using their system. Put simply, the NS records of a domain name point out the DNS servers which are authoritative for it, so when you try to open a web address, the DNS servers are contacted to obtain the DNS records of the Internet domain you want to reach. This way the website that you'll see is going to be retrieved from the right location. The name servers usually have a prefix “ns” or “dns” and every single domain address has at least two NS records. There is absolutely no practical difference between the two prefixes, so what kind a host company is going to use depends completely on their preference.

NS Records in Web Hosting

The avant-garde Hepsia CP, which comes with our web hosting products, will enable you to manage the name servers of any domain address registered through us with simply a couple of mouse clicks, so even when you have never had a website hosting plan or a domain before, you'll not encounter any problems. The Domain Manager tool, which is a part of Hepsia, features a very user-friendly interface and it will permit you to edit the NS records of any domain name or even a number of domains simultaneously. Additionally we provide you with the opportunity to set up child name servers dns1.your-domain.com and dns2.your-domain.com for every single domain registered in the account just as easily and all you need for that is a pair of IP addresses - either ours, if you'll use the child NS to point the domain to the account on our cloud platform, or the ones of the third-party provider if you will use the new records to forward the domain address to their system. In contrast to other providers, we do not charge additional for providing this additional DNS management service.

NS Records in Semi-dedicated Hosting

Our semi-dedicated server accounts are administered via Hepsia - an all-in-one tool with incredibly user-friendly interface, which will enable you to manage your domain addresses effortlessly even when you have not used a hosting account or a domain name up to now. Changing the NS records for each domain address registered using our company, viewing the existing ones and whether they are right or not as to point that domain address to our cloud hosting platform is also fairly simple and takes as little as several mouse clicks. You are also going to be able to register child name servers under every one of your domain names as a part of the free DNS administration services we offer you with each and every plan and have ns1.your-domain.com and ns2.your-domain.com. The latter can be used for each and every domain which you accommodate within the semi-dedicated account, so if you offer services to third-parties and host their websites, using this feature is going to give you more credibility as a business.
